February 6 Morning Report: GovCon Index Climbs on January Jobs Data, EO on Banking Regulations


Executive Mosaic’s GovCon Index registered a 0.893-percent gain Friday to 89.263 as gainers outnumbered decliners by a 4-to-1 ratio.

Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE: HII) was GCI’s top net performer and Cubic Corp. (NYSE: CUB) the top percentage performer.

Friday’s climb comes as U.S. stocks surged with the Labor Department‘s report of 227,000 new jobs at nonfarm U.S. businesses in January and a new executive order that works to reduce banking regulations implemented after the 2008 financial crisis.
